I'm most positive that you are covered the moment you come to a labor agreement...
The purpose of the minimum wage is to insure the worker a fair wage for his work. Employers tend to hire the lowest bidders when they hire and when jobs are scarce, people are willing to work for next to nothing regardless of the value of their labor to the employer. There is also the possibility of hiring foreign workers who are used to working for less. A reasonable minimum wage gives workers enough to live on and maintain steady profits for the employer. (However an inflated minimum wage only guarantees that poor workers will not find jobs.) I do not know what FDR said.
yes. If your employer already approved your surgery you can still get it. And your employer should be covering anything for workers comp as long as it happened while you were working there.
An employer issues a i9 form because the employer is required to do by the united states government to make sure workers are legal and allowed to be working.
because the money was too little and too many people were dieing
The definition of minimum wage can vary depending on the country. In the United States some minimum wage jobs include working at fast food restaurants, working as cashiers, and working as a janitor.
A union's main role is to represent a common group of workers, and more importantly, to negotiate the terms for those workers' wages, working hours, working conditions, and other key job criteria with their employer.
As long as it is not against your employment contract, it is possible. You do not have to continue working there either.
Some of the main provisions for the minimum wages act of 1948 are that a normal working day have regular interval breaks for the workers. Another provision is at least one day off from from a week of work. An important one is for the employer to keep accurate records of employees wages, work and receipts.

No. Because the doctor has verified that are able to work, and you are receiving a normal paycheck on company time. Now a check from workers comp may overlap with your employer pay, but, once workers comp has been notified, that you are working, light duty or otherwise, those payments will stop.
Your old employer if it happened at another job or you may not be eligible for workers comp if it happened while you were not working.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no law. As a retail employee, I assume you are paid an hourly wage. If you do not work, you do not get paid. Simple. Your employer is not responsible for the way you manage your private time and if you want to have a family day, plan it on your day off. If it is a special day when you would normally be scheduled to work, talk to your employer a week in advance to see if he would be willing to rearrange the schedule to allow you to take this day off instead of your regular day. It puzzles me that you would think you are entitled to be paid for not working? And even more puzzling to think that there is a law that would force your employer to pay you for not working. Even if there was a family emergency that forced you to leave work without advanced notice, you would not be entitled to pay. You would be entitled to quit your job if you didn't think you were getting enough "something for nothing". Good luck with that one!
